Moebius - You Think You Know Comics?

[@heru-deshet359]

Discovered him in my teens 50 years ago. Been a fan since then.

[@jimhays2772]

Mobius was actually a better artist than picasso and Matisse. Time will give him justice as he just passed away in 2012

[@incognitofool6516]

Been a Moebius fan for years. Happy to see him getting love and appreciation by more readers here in the states. As an artist, his work is the most exciting to examine. And since incorporating elements of his design and high concept fantasy into some of my original work, I find myself thinking further and further away from traditional comic art. Which is in alot of ways, very limiting.

[@sternumagnum]

"France's greatest comics artist"?!? How about one of the world's greatest?

[@ELPlop]

How about the world's greatest comic artist.

[@redsevenxbox4808]

There's a story about Otomo asking advices to Moebius for Akira's ending.

[@Mastermind12358]

2:34 That is wrong, neither of them sued the moviemaker. The publisher who owned the rights to The Incal did. You think you know comics?

[@the_Googie]

Many modern artists were inspired tremendously by Moebius. I mean, he's pretty good

[@lops-6672]

This guy is fantastic and in a league of his own. How does he do it? He's French

[@thibaldus3]

Lanfeust and (of course) Valerian & Laureline

[@razorjack2501]

I've always really enjoyed Moebius' work in Heavy Metal, but I actually never knew about his Silver Surfer run. I'm going to have to track those down now.

[@navelpicker]

SS is only mentioned to get Americans interested. Minor, when considering his total output.

[@tayoz13]

HE IS THE MASTER OF MASTER AND HE IS THE BEST EVER. LUCKY ME AS AN ARTIST I MET HIM IN ANGOULEME AND HAD A BOOK SIGNING TABLES NEXT TO EACH OTHERS. I WAS SIGNING MY "CAVEMAN BOOK WHICH GOT PUBLISHED IN FRANCE IN 1997.. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON AS WELL!

[@Carmai7]

The Incal is just Epic!!!!

[@gabbar51ngh]

Gotta read it. What is it about?

[@jonathanhento1491]

More EU comics please! Like Blacksad, or Thorgal, Schuiten-Peeters is awesome as well!

[@robertrijkers4923]

Trigian, Luc Orient and Storm are great to check out as well

[@videochemist]

EU comics? Do you mean European comics? There's no such things EU comics. It would be similar to describing Marvel or DC comics as Republican comics, because that's the political establishment currently in power in the US.

[@videochemist]

@@stayskeptic3923 You're right. I was being pedantic.

[@Salvadorrius]

THorgal YES!!

[@zootsootful]

At last!... An accurate, although way too short account of this great artist's life and work.

[@samurai1833]

Lovely tribute to a great artist

[@BillyMuir]

Awesome Video!

[@ZvilgantisKailis]

What about Regis Loisel? :)

[@allanclark3283]

I had a copy of Arzach.

[@Fivehe]

"France's greatest comic artist" Herge has entered the chat

[@dutchdan]

Why would he? He's from Belgium. Oh dear, it's 'French Fries' all over again..... ;-)

[@Fivehe]

@@dutchdan My bad. Not as simple as french fries of course since he wrote in French and pioneered Ligne Claire. But good point. Hitler wasn't German and Alexander Hamilton wasn't American. ;)

[@dutchdan]

@@Fivehe " Alexander Hamilton wasn't American."......I did not know that. So I learned something new today. Cheers for that!

[@hahahahaha288]

Herge is great but Moebius is Greater

[@sakhilehlongwa5494]

If your gonna do European comics, can you go for Tintin?

[@MrSafior]

Astérix will be better or Spirou.

[@diegom-a7970]

or Blacksad

[@jonathanhento1491]

Diego M-A Oh man, Blacksad is yust gorgeous.. There should be more attention for EU comics anyway, there are still lots of amazing artists left who are, unfortunately, so unknown to the American public..

[@navelpicker]

How about the makers of all of them?

[@tasfa10]

I always got the feeling that Moebius may have taken a great influence from Herge. I mean Moebius, not Gir. His drawings in the Edena series and even on the Incal resemble a lot the drawings from Tintin with a bit more complexity, fantasie and use of perspective. It's like progressive ligne claire. Which is great. I grew up with Herge as my childhood hero (unusual, I know) and Moebius is now probably the cartoonist I most admire.

[@tlotpwist3417]

Do you cover Loisel?

[@UserofYouTube2]

Well, it looks like I have some comics to buy. Thank you.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Cool. Thanks. What pen did he use and if it's a fountain pen, what size nib and is it a flex nib? What ink did he use for color?

[@valerieh.708]

He used ink and watercolor for his Moebius stuff.

[@CT2507]

Moebius even looks like Picasso. But i never regarded Picassos bullshit as art, so to compare these two is a pity.

[@ludoletono]

Dat art, tho

[@RocKnight11]

Who drew a better Silver Surfer... Kirby or Moebius?

[@gabrielpetricevic9306]

Why Quentin tarantino

[@alfredhutchinson6566]

Absolutely awsm vdo! 3:10Re France's Cult.Min.: Utter nonsense saying the world's lost 2 artists wen MrJnGiraud uzed a 2nd name. B'dos, W.Indies

[@unclesnorker1970]

I been to a lot of comic shops back in my past and I have to say the vast majority of Moebius work I saw had nothing to do with his Marvel comic he did with Stan Lee(not dissing it either) So when you say the "VAST MAJORITY" of people in AMerica probably know him by that largely forgotten or underappreciated work, I have to think this is just another attempt by KZbin creators to pretend they actually know what they are talking about. Anyway Proceed.

[@gabrielp9646]

Aaaahm, no, you´re wrong. Many people ask me for recomendations of silver surfer readings (since he is one of my favorites) and when I mention this one (usually my first option for a recomendation) most people have read it already. Including americans. Blueberry, on the other hand, most americans I meet haven´t even heard about it :S:S

[@Shootingstarcomics]

I agree, there were lots of Mobius collections in the comic book stores back in the day and then that little two issue Silver Surfer story that no one but me seemed to care about came out.

[@quirqq]

The background music is horrible.

[@teodygaspar]

He still alive?...

[@tinol6090]

teody gaspar no.. he says it in the video..

[@teodygaspar]

@@tinol6090 ...2010 He passed away

[@brodeyleembruggen9910]

[@thelazylovr2921]

4th

[@josephharden5592]

I'm the 600th like 😎

[@foxtrot801]

I dont like Moebius Silver Surfer art

[@navelpicker]

Then go look at all his other stuff.

[@incognitofool6516]

No one cares...

[@ericdurville6306]

I don’t like Portugal

[@gabrielp9646]

You´re like the people who says they don´t like Picasso´s abstract art, but those are only the ones who don´t know picasso was known as the most technical, photographic and focused on detail painter of his age, for about 20 years. Same thing with Moebius. He can draw in any style he wants, realistic, cartoony... He chose a more simple style for this, but make no mistake, he is better than alex ross and jim lee put together, and both of them would agree to this statement xDxD : brokenbullhorn.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/blueberry-1-cvr1.jpg 3.bp.blogspot.com/-CAXLcvV-NPY/T3YLYLlmfTI/AAAAAAAAbRw/3cE5x61_g3U/s1600/29548.jpg landscapetheory1.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/moebius-arzac-19.jpg stuartngbooks.com/images/detailed/19/moebius_blueberry_geron_1.jpg
